Ecologically, Uganda is where the East African savannah meets the West African jungle. Where else but in this impossibly lush country can one stare into the deep blue eyes of the endangered mountain gorillas on a gorilla trek.
Uganda is the only tourist destination whose range of Primates is as impressive as its selection of plains antelope. The verdant biodiversity of Uganda is further attested to by Uganda's status as by far the smallest of the four African Countries whose bird checklist hits the 1,000 mark.
Mountain Gorillas are without doubt the most popular wildlife attractions in Uganda. The bulkiest of Uganda’s living primates and most peaceable is however much threatened. These primates are common in Bwindi, Mgahinga and Murchison Falls National Parks.
Do not miss a mountaineering tour to the Rwenzori Mountains in Western Uganda that provide exhilarating rewarding experience but one, which must be well planned. The conditions on the mountain are a challenge to even an experienced hiker because this mountain is known for its un-engeneered, steep and slippery trails, frequent rainfall, cold temperatures, bogs, mud, steep terrain and high altitude.
